Introducing the traditional Indian science of construction, the “Vaastu Shastra,” to modern architecture, the Amtek Office Building with its entrance facing the East seems to bring the flow of energy in building designs. Situated in Tolstoy Marg, New Delhi, the iconic building accommodates the retail space on the ground floor and a sky restaurant at the top, together with various flexible spaces for multiple usages. Featuring an external facade wrapped in glass, the structures lets the visitors as well as passersby see through the activities going in and around the building, other than making the most of the natural light during daytime. The glass surface is armored with aluminum shading, that not only supports the brittle exterior, but also gives a unique design to the structure.
